Attendance is required, though students are allowed to miss up to three lectures without penalty. The content covered in lectures does not directly impact your grade—there are two open-notes exams each accounting for 15%— so people do not really participate in lecture discussions. I do like Professor Horne's lecturing style. The class is engaging and I think it's a good overview of Digital Humanities.
That said, the class revolves around making a final project and your group members can really make or break your experience.
Great professor. The class is also well strucuted, you should not get anything other than an A.
